Rose four clear in Connecticut

Relieved of the burden of trying to seal a maiden win, a relaxed and clear-thinking Justin Rose moved into a four-shot lead heading into the weekend at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.

The Englishman, who earned his maiden PGA Tour victory at the Memorial earlier this month, set about doubling his tally at TPC River Highlands near Hartford with a bogey-free, eight-under-par 62 just one stroke off the course record at the 6,844-yard, par-70 layout.
